| I axed the wonderful ol' LiveJournal, because people on there were getting on my nerves. It's about time that I distanced myself from there anyway, because I need to get my priorities in order to accordance with responsibility.
Besides putting out that random bit, I have pictures from the talent show at our school. Behold.
That's me just singing Ice Ice Baby. Everyone loved it because of how I sung it. XD
And that's me and CJ up on stage.

| Despite all of my ranting made in earlier entries, I've decided that
I'm going to The College of New Jersey. There, I will be learning how
and gaining a teacher certification in both English & physical
education...
It feels much better when you finally can settle on one direction and
work towards that. I hate having a mixed mind, especially with not too
much time to think about where I want to go, and what to do.
Since it's overly difficult to get into TCNJ, I'm going to have to
transfer in. That's why I will have to settle for Middlesex Community
College for a little while; I spoke to my guidance counseler, and her
being a former student of TCNJ, gave me a several tips and direction as
to what I should do. That reassures my fears too, so I know how to take
care of everything... I'm also going to need a bit of luck too. :)
Senior year has been good... Made a several more friends with the
underclass, and I've become even more increasingly social. That's too
bad, because I still don't get out too much, and after I graduate, I
doubt I'll be speaking to most of these people again.
I am also now a certified HVAC&R mechanic! I took my EPA certification test a while ago; I scored No longer a student... I can be hired to fix your air conditioner right now if you wanted me to. XD
Here's the results...
CORE:
25 questions - 22 correct
88%
Exam Passed
TYPE I:
25 questions - 21 correct
84%
Exam Passed
TYPE II:
25 questions - 23 correct
94%
Exam Passed
TYPE III:
25 questions - 24 correct
96%
Exam Passed
I find it funny that I did best on TYPE III, which deals with chillers, and I haven't worked with one in my entire life. -_-; Oh well, that's what studying does for you, you tend to skip what you already think that you know very well. The minimum requirement for each section is to have 20 correct.
I am proud... even though it's unlikely that I'll be an HVAC&R service/installation technician. :)

| I had a long post written up here, but Firefox ended up crashing while
I was browsing MySpace and ate it all. Oh well... I'll write everything
up again, because I really don't have too much to do before I get some
sleep.
It's 4:07 AM, after all...
I got all of the pictures taken earlier in the mail today. They haven't
been touched up on, but most of them turned out awful... This is for a
few point reasons that I'm going to list,
- I didn't even remember the appointment having been made in the
morning. So instead of making myself all nice and proper, I ended up
going to school casually.. Big mistake.
- I got a chip in my eye during the day, which ended up ruining one of
my eyes and making it bloodshot... I had enough time before the
appointment(Which was in school.), but not enough for it to be
unnoticable.
I did scan a couple and upload them, though. A few people wanted to
see... If anyone here is interested, I'll put the links down and you
can view them yourselves.

Vance said that they were "Ouch!" worthy compared to how I normally
look. So I wouldn't rate those too highly... Which is a shame. I'm
normally pretty photogenic, too.
Ah well, they're only pictures. Not worth spending so much time ranting over.
I really need to decide what I should try focusing on in college. I
don't want to drain funding or overextend my loans, so I should
concentrate on a specific field... I've always been interested in
psychology, teaching, medicine, and I have talents with computers...
The first two aren't too well-paid, and the last is becoming too
strongly of a "Dime a Dozen!" market.
I suppose things will fall into place anyway, right? 
I need to try looking into a good job around my area. That's not saying
too much; because it's horrible to be working in Perth Amboy... This
town has terrible management, on top of how it's taken care of. Maybe
South Amboy'll provide something nice for me... otherwise, I'll have to
wait until I can drive.
I'm turning 17 in a few weeks, so that shouldn't take long! I've always
been behind my best friends in terms of age, so it's annoying having to
catch up. People are always telling me that I'm smart for having
skipped a grade of education, but there's nothing special about it...
Atleast I don't look young, I look much older than I should for my age.
I haven't been able to get enough of pasta tonight. I think that's the very weak Italian side of me speaking...

| Haven't updated this thing in forever.
So, let's get some details about my life down...
Besides doing some easy hanging out, which has become so much less
frequent lately(Because I don't really choose to. Go figure.), I've
become a little more concerned about future decisions. Where to go to
college, where I should pick a job up at(I hate Perth Amboy. No offense
to the people there, but it's horrible.), etcetera...
From my first three years in high school(9th to 11th), I have a grand
total of 3.0 for my GPA. Pretty average. That isn't really too good,
and it's mainly due to how badly I slipped during freshman year(And
partially sophomore, but I wasn't too bad.), so I'm hoping to try and
gain the highest possible this year. I want a 4.0, and with my CP
classes, it should come out to be a better bonus... :)
So I should end up with around a 3.25-3.3 at the end of my high school
year. That's fine enough for me. I could have done much better, but I
didn't, so I have to play my cards the best way I see fit... Just
wanted to save my parents, and myself, plenty of money by possibly
obtaining scholarships and whatnot. :(
So now I'm considering my colleges.
Need to hurry up and get my license, too. I'm only 16, but I'll finally
be 17 in November. It's not too much fun being one of the youngest kids
in my senior class. It's amusing when people honestly think that I was
18+.
Time to fill out my applications and see where I'm headed. I may want
to wait until I take my SATs(December 5th.) before I do that, but I'll
see which ones don't have it covered in the apps. If there even is
any...
I have a good lineup of classes this year, too, heh.
Besides all that education nonsense, I've been good. :)
It's cool seeing all my friends again, though I miss most of the seniors. Still talk with them whenever I can, of course.

| I haven't updated this thing in a while. It's not as if anyone cares, anyway...
Life has been progressing decently. I've been able to excel my skill in
some of my subjects, so that I can do better with my grades. If only I
took the time to try learning it before, maybe I would have shown
better performance year-around...
Been working on things. Been living life. Been hanging out. All the usual, all the usual.
